Скачать или смотреть Episode 333: What It’s Like To Have Sex On Psychedelics

Psychedelic use is at an all-time high among young adults. These drugs are used for many purposes, but often for sex. So let’s talk about “trippy” sex. In this episode, we’re going to discuss the sexual effects of several common psychedelics, the potential benefits and risks of these drugs, and what people who wish to combine sex and substances need to know in terms of having safer and more pleasurable experiences.



I am joined once again by Ashley Manta (https://www.ashleymanta.com/) , an award-winning sex educator and certified sexologist. She has become a sought-after authority on mindfully combining sex and cannabis as part of her CannaSexual brand (https://www.ashleymanta.com/cannasexual) , which has also expanded to include psychedelics. She is co-author of the book The CBD Solution: Sex (https://amzn.to/3BiVckz) .



Some of the specific topics we discuss in this episode include:




• How does MDMA/ecstasy affect people’s sexual experiences?


• What are the sexual effects of psilocybin and ketamine?


• Why do different people experience different effects from psychedelics?


• How do psychedelics compare to alcohol in terms of their sexual impact?


• What conversations should you have with a partner before combing drugs and sex?




You can check out Ashley’s website (https://www.ashleymanta.com/cannasexual) to learn more about her work.
